Hawk's Honor - #NewRelease, #Excerpt

NEW RELEASE!

Being a hawk shifter on a Marine Corp Special Ops team is dangerous but falling in love with his commanding officer is deadly. Honor bound by the corps, Jamie Hawke won’t touch Captain Andrea “Andi” Nelson. Hawke is told by a shaman to find his mate before the next tour through Madame Eve’s 1 Night Stand service. When his date turns out to be none other than Capt. Nelson, it’s love or duty. 

As they lay in silence, tension thickened the air. With the cat out of the bag, there would be nothing technical stopping them from getting involved romantically. Maybe she misread the various ques from him, misunderstood the longing glances she would catch from him when they were in the desert. But then again, Madame Eve did match them. If he only considered her a friend, she would let go of the desire to be with him.

“Not my commanding officer.” His voice barely over a whisper as he spoke to himself with his eyes closed. “Out of the Corps.”

 

“I need to be honest with you, Jamie.” Gathering her courage, she needed to be fully honest with him. “I’ve been attracted to you for a long time. During our tours, I found myself caring for you in a way that went against code. At one point, I seriously considered asking for a reassignment. Now that I’m out of the Corps, I approached Madame Eve to see if we might be a match.”

 

She heard a sharp intake of breath next to her. Perhaps she said too much, and he didn’t see her as anything other than his commanding officer. She longed for his arms to wrap around her, even for a short time. Her life flipped upside down with her injury and her confidence took a hit. His silence fed her insecurities. A flush of embarrassment traveled up her chest and neck. Unshed tears burned her eyes. Hawke remained so quiet, she wondered if he was freaking out or if he fell asleep. She rolled to her side to check on him. He lay on his back with the heels of his hands pushing into his eyes. His lips formed a taut line.

“I’m being too pushy.” She groaned in apprehension and pushed to a kneeling position. “I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sorry if I made things weird. I’ve obviously made a mistake by admitting my crush on you. Look, maybe I’ll…”

 

“No.” With lightning speed, he grabbed her wrist to stop her from rising. “No mistake and don’t even think about leaving.”

 

Static electricity vibrated where their skin touched. His thumb caressed the inside of her wrist, sending a calming sensation throughout her entire body. He flipped to his side and lifted onto his forearm. He took a deep breath and released a sigh. Her eyes met his. Slivers of gold sprayed like fireworks in the dark orbs.

 

“I need to be honest with you.” He spoke with conviction as his eyes bore into hers. “I lied.”

Ask the Author: What Inspired Queen of Hearts?

Your Valentine romance, Queen of Hearts features a Alice in Wonderland themed costume party and a really hot couple. What inspired the book?

There is a game a group of we authors play. Someone will post a photo and with a particular time frame, 20 minutes or 20 days, we create our own stories. The best part is reading the variety of tales one image inspires. Ironically, my brain will focus on a photo or image and create a story. Taming Rachel, Dark Soul and Hawk's Honor derived from single photos.

When I wrote the original Valentine's Day romance, Queen of Hearts, a photo in a Lover's Lane catalog set the wheels turning.

Fireside Interview With K. T. Egan

Let's start the New Year with a New Author and a New Book!

Join us at the bonfire!

 It's a lazy afternoon and a the backyard bonfire is blazing. Hot dogs and fixings for smores are ready to go. New Adult Romance author, KT Egan stopped by for a cup of tea and a fireside chat about her new book, All You Hold On To, the first book in the Anderson Creek series.

I know you have penned several short stories and poems but I'm so excited for your new book, KT! I understand this is your first published book and the beginning of a four book series. That's awesome! All You Hold On To is a beautifully written book with a sweet romance, second chance love and great characters who will pull at your heartstrings.  Where did you get the idea for this story?

KT: I was sitting in the writing center of my alma matter, trying to make sense of a project I’d started over the summer when it dawned on me that there are so many questions left unanswered at the end of a relationship. And one of the biggest ones, to me anyway, was what would you do if the person you broke up with was the only you had? What if that person was your power of attorney – would you change it or would you leave it the same because you knew that person, you trusted that person at one point with your entire life.

How did you come up with the book title?

KT: I was inspired by a song - and then the wording just fell into place.

I'm always inspired by the music I listen to. I get storyline ideas and character names. Speaking of names, how did you create your characters?

KT: I’ve had a lot of eclectic jobs in my life, and I’ve worked with a lot of zany people, and more often than not I find myself drawing character name inspiration from the people who tend to come in and out of my life on a day-to-day basis.  

Here's a smore for you. 

Instead of using a Hersey bar, I used a Reese peanut butter cup. 

So yummy! While we're nibbling on sweet treats, tell me, how naughty do you get with your writing? 

KT: I mainly write more sweet, lighter romance with just a touch of suggestion. However, it’s mainly very PG.

Where there scenes you found difficult to write?

KT: I have a really hard time with the scenes right in the middle, surrounding the climax of the story.

That, I can relate to. The story in my head moves much faster than my fingers can type and then I'll sit back and think, "Is that what I want to tell? Is that how I want to tell it?" Tell me something trivial about you when you're writing. 

KT: I once Googled about eight different can designs for Folger’s coffee cans – it was a very miniscule detail to the story I was working on but something I was determined to get right. I always have to have noise around me – I know a lot of authors can’t write with external distractions but I need them to be able to focus. It can be anything from TV to the radio, as long as it makes noise. 

I'm right there with ya, sista! I always have music on when I write. We'll our time is coming to an end. There are hot dogs to be roasted and mugs to be refilled with tea. What would you like to share with our readers?

KT: Don’t count yourself down and out, no matter how hard things can seem sometimes. For me, the best inspiration has always come from those moments where I felt that I was at my lowest.

Fun stuff:

Favorite drink: Lime seltzer

Favorite candy: Reese’s cups

Favorite food: Tacos of all kinds

Favorite article of clothing or jewelry: I love jeans

Favorite place to read: The couch, with a cup of tea and a cozy blanket.

Place you want to visit some day: Barcelona, Spain

On Deck - Marie McKinney Chats About The Arrangement

 

The evening light is upon us and the fire table is lit. I have a special guest on the deck today so please welcome Marie McKinney. She used to be a counselor but her own mind turned her into a romance author. You will find the human drama that makes life interesting in the contemporary and paranormal romances she writes. 

I love the diverse characters from different backgrounds she creates and helps them fall in love. Her book,  After Paris captures all that plus emotional twists and turns with a second chance romance.

 

I’m so excited Marie has a new book out and she’s here today to tell us about it. The Arrangement was released in August. She has joined me at the high-top fire table for drinks. She’s enjoying a Vanilla Coke with Tennessee Honey Jack Daniels. I decided to have one too since I’m a sucker for Vanilla Coke. We have a bowl of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups between us. Marie and Flyboy share the love of these wonderful sweets. Lucky for us, he’s out flying thus leaving all the Reese’s for us!

 

Thanks for joining us, Marie. Since the temps are going down, I’m going dive right into this. I know you have After Paris and now the 1^st book in the Wilde Men series but how many books to you have prior to these?

 

The Arrangementis not my first book but it is only the second book I’ve written under my name. I started writing professionally as a ghostwriter in 2012 and did that for a few years until that little voice in the back of my head said, “Enough. Don’t you want to see your name on your work?” In all I’ve probably written somewhere in the neighborhood of fifteen or sixteen books. I’m not real sure since once it’s approved by the client, I’d ceremoniously let it go, delete the file, say goodbye and move on. A nice little figurative trashcan fire of my ex’s things. 

 

I’ll drink to that! *We clink glasses and take a drink* It’s crazy how the mind works. What inspired you to write your latest book, The Arrangement?

 

Usually the characters come to me before the story, with this one though, it was the other way around. I wanted to write an arranged marriage trope but make it modern day and realistic. The only scene I “borrowed” from real life is the opening scene with Maggie at work and her customers chanting “salad, salad” at her. My niece worked as a waitress while putting herself through med-school and was always blessed with the most interesting customers. The restaurant Black Tin Roof will show up from time to time and most of that comes from her fabulous rendition of life in the service industry.

 

I love basing fiction on the reality in my life. Good for your niece and her inspiration. Do you give her a cut of the fame?

 

No she doesn’t get royalties, but I do give the best Christmas presents. Lol. 

 

I’d rather have the wonderful gifts. LOL Sounds like you have a nice arrangement. LOL See what I did there. LOL How did you come up with the title, TheArrangement?

 

Laziness was my inspiration, lol. “The Arrangement” for a story about an Arranged Marriage.

 

I think it sounds a little dirty, in a sexy way. I love your character names, Magdalena and Aidan. How do you come up with your characters’ names?

 

Sometimes it just comes to me and those times I have to be careful and check my long list of already used character names to make sure I’m not double dipping, or repeating consonants. Once I had a Diana, Deirdre and Daniel all in the same book, no lie. Apparently, that month was represented by the letter “D.” When I’m stuck on a new name, usually the character’s backstory helps me. Even if that backstory isn’t used in the actual novel. Magdalena and her sisters Miriam and Guinevere had a young mom who fantasized about being rescued by Robin Hood or a literal knight in shining armor hence the names. 

 

Oooh, I love the story behind the story, or I should say…the story behind the name. Hey, if you could have any movie star take on a role of one of your characters who do you think it would be?

 

AHhh. I don’t know! I never visualize my characters as actors or actresses. I know, I’m the only one in the world. They always appear in my mind’s eye as themselves, though, so I really don’t know.

 

Come to think of it, my characters look more like regular people than movie starts. Anyways… back to your writing. How naughty do you get with your stories?

 

I consider myself pretty middle of the line. I don’t fade out and close the door but I’m not pulling out whips and chains and making them beg in excruciating detail. There are sex scenes, they get pretty steamy, there’s a lot of build-up and intimacy even when they’re not having sex. But I think everyone has their own way of rating so my just enough might be someone else’s whoa buddy. Only one way to find out, hint hint, nudge nudge. Lol. 

 

The build-up makes a scene even more intense and sexy. Yes, friends, you need to dive into The Arrangement to find out! Now, Marie, you like to take readers on an emotional ride and do it well. What would you say were difficult scenes to write?

 

The second chapter when her sisters are getting loaded into a car and taken away. That scene took the longest because it punched me in the cry-box every time. Especially when Maggie settles her little sister who has Autism and sends her off, knowing she can’t explain why they’re not going together. I have an eight-year-old on the spectrum and I might have over-personalized the moment, imagining how he might feel.

 

Personal things like that pull a reader in. As an author, I know how research goes when writing so what is the strangest thing you’ve Googled while working on a story?

 

This story was pretty tame. The wackiest it got was putting together the Kilabarian language. But I have had stories that would get me convicted on an episode of CSI. The strangest thing I’ve ever googled for a novel was “How much of the body remains after a house-fire.”

 

Hopefully “big brother” isn’t watching you. LOL Do you have any rituals to must haves while you are writing?

 

Each book is different. I’ve had books where I’ve had to write it the old-fashioned way, pen and paper. Then there were books where I powered through with chocolate and snacks. Luckily those are few and far between. The Arrangement wanted to wake me up in the middle of the night for just one more scene that could not wait. All my recent work, though, does not get started or completed without my grandmother’s picture siting right in front of me.

 

Okay…now for some fun stuff. What’s your favorite food?

 

Ice cream. Any. All. Vanilla with sprinkles. Birthday cake. Chocolate Chip cookie dough. Ooo Ben and Jerry’s used to have this flavor: sweet cream ice cream with cashews but they were coated in something first. If I had a genie, I’d completely waste a wish on bringing that sucker back. 

 

Oh, girl… we are going to be best friends! I have a freezer dedicated to ice cream! LOL What is your favorite thing to wear?

 

Leggings

 

Yes! Nothing is better than wearing leggings and curling up with a good book such as The Arrangement. Where is you favorite place to read?

 

I live in the south, there are very few days I have the need for a fireplace. Still. I imagine curling up on my couch in front of a roaring fire, reading away. In reality it’s my bed. Lol.

 

You need to visit my log home in the wood in the middle of winter. Flyboy will build us a nice fire in the fireplace, make us Jack and vanilla cokes, and make sure we have cuddly blankets handy. Oh, Flyboy wanted me to ask you, what place would you like to visit some day?

 

It’s on my bucket-list to write underneath an Irish sunrise. Or sunset. Ireland and sun. Wildflowers. Fields.

 

Flyboy has been there and said it’s definitely worth it. Do you have any special words for your readers today?

 

Hi!! I hope you’re enjoying my novels as much as I’m enjoying releasing them to you. The best part about being an author is being able to share some small piece of a world I get to create with an infinite number of other people to appreciate. The second best thing is getting to hear what you think about it. Reviews are our (authors) life-blood. Feed me, Seymour. Lol. No, seriously, thank you for taking a chance on me.

 

Thanks for joining Marie McKinney and I on the deck. Sorry, we won't share the remaining Reeses with you, I'm letting Marie take the rest home. You can find Marie

It’s not just a love story, it’s an obsession...

Skylar:           

Every time my neighbor jogs past my house, I do my best to tempt him. Washing my car, watering my lawn, doing yoga in the grass with my all my assets in the air. I’m not sure if he notices me, but I sure can’t miss him.

Then one day he falls... into my arms and into my bed. Surprisingly, we’re better matched than I would’ve expected. But when he reveals who he is, my world comes crashing down around me because if he finds out my secret we’re finished before we’ve even begun.

Cade:

Three days a week, I put myself through hell by jogging through my neighborhood. I suffer through it simply to catch a glimpse of a woman I don’t know. Every time I pass her house she’s outside tempting me. Until one day I fall... over my feet, over my heart, over this woman and into her arms.

I know nothing about her, but I want to discover everything. Even her deepest, darkest secrets. However, little does she know, I have one, too. One that may sever the tie that binds us.

Chapter One

Skylar:

I watch as sweat drips one bead at a time onto my over-priced yoga mat. The sun is so freaking hot and here I am, like an idiot out in my yard, bent over in the downward facing dog pose for the past million years. Okay, not years... maybe more like a million seconds. But my body has decided it hates me (nothing new) and is cramping while my head spins. Even better, my over-priced yoga pants have clawed their way up my crack (as well as one other place). And still...

No neighbor.

What the hell?

Despite my eyeballs’ attempt at bulging out of their sockets, I peek at my sports watch. He should’ve been by here two-point-five minutes ago.

Shit.

The man is usually like clockwork, jogging by my house on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons every week. For the most part, anyway. Though, thunderstorms seem to discourage him from his cardio. (Not sure why.)

On those days, I would be willing to recommend another type of cardio to get his heart pumping. And maybe get his hips pumping, too.

Anyway... look at me! Doing yoga on my front lawn, on the uneven grass, waiting like a desperate woman. (I’m not, really, I promise! It just looks that way.)

But, damn, the man is fine and when he jogs past shirtless, he’s shiny with sweat, which makes me want to drag him inside and give him a sponge bath with my tongue.

My thighs start shaking as I peek between my spread legs, because, of course, my ass has to be facing the street. I want him to get a good look at what I’m offering.

I may even wiggle it a little when he jogs by.

That is if I don’t pass out into a heap first.

I sigh.

Then sigh again a little louder just for good measure.

Maybe it would be easier if I just took up jogging. Wear one of those sexy sports bras, put my hair up in a cute little pony tail, plaster a smile on my face and follow him around the block at a perky pace.

I’ll die first.

****

Cade:

Why I ever started this shit, I’ll never know. No, I lie. I know. I thought, “Cade, dude, wouldn’t it be great to up your cardio game and start running?”

I answered myself with, “Yeah, man, that would be great and fun, too!” And then maybe I won’t get so winded when I play basketball with the guys. I’ll have more endurance, I’ll look and feel younger, and...

Fuck that.

Running sucks. And I don’t even think what I do can be considered as running. No, it’s more of a jog. Or a lope. Or trotting like a donkey with a lame hoof.

Inhell. Exhell.

My chest burns, my leg muscles spasm, my balls feel like they’re floating in a puddle of sweat, and the crack of my ass...

I’m not even going there. (Trust me, you don’t want to, either.)

So, why don’t I just stop the torture? (Good question!)

I’ve asked myself that for the past month.

And the answer has always been...

Her.

I sacrifice three days a week just to see a woman I don’t know.

Not sure why, but she always seems to be outside at the same time of the day. For that reason, I make sure that’s when I go running (jogging, trotting, limping) by.

Am I crazy to torture myself because I find someone attractive and I’d like to get her attention?

Eh. Maybe.

Why don’t I just knock on her door and ask her out? (Another good question.)

Maybe I want to impress her with my physique and athletic prowess.

But honestly, something has to give and it has to be soon. Because this running shit sucks balls and I’d rather stick razor blades under my fingernails.

At least my slow trot is the right speed to observe her without being creepy. Walking would be too slow and obvious. Driving too quick and useless, not to mention dangerous when she’s clearly a distraction.

And, of course, my pace always allows me enough time to enjoy the show she gives me.

On Wednesday, she was out washing her car, her top soaked, her nipples pushing through the thin fabric of her shirt, and when she bent over to scrub the hood of said car, my boner just about popped out of my shorts. You know, those little nylon running shorts. The ones with the mesh liner, clearly not made for sexual arousal.

But I digress.

The week before, she was out watering her lawn. And, once again, her top was wetter than her grass.

Here’s the thing, the entire neighborhood has built-in sprinklers.

Maybe hers are broken.

It’s possible.

I grunt as I turn the corner and try to push myself a little faster since I’m off my game today. I’m later than normal, and I want my running to look as effortless as possible. It needs to look as though I’ve got my shit together and I’m not secretly suffering.

My eyes swing to the left as I jog. She’s the fourth house up. The brick ranch home with the two-car garage.

Two houses to go yet.

One house.

My eyes widen as I see her ass in tight black yoga pants in the air. My step stutters but I can’t stop my momentum.

My mouth becomes an O, partly because I’m falling over my own two feet, the other because she’s dropped to her knees and is now arching backwards grabbing onto her heels, her generous tits straining against her top.

Last thing I see is her blinking upside down at me as her head hangs down her back.

Suddenly, I’m staring at nothing but pavement (and my loss of manhood). The little bit of oxygen I had sucked into my lungs is now gone.

Then, what seems like seconds later, bare, cute, red painted toes come into view.

I want to just die.
